: One thousand seven hundred and ninety-six. Do you dare to have 5 ups and 5 downs in the Western Conference?

Because there is a very important question. When a team wins 75 and before the start of the playoffs, the team may even be scooped out by the media to speculate about what color pants the players like to wear.
The Grizzlies have almost no unresearched points. Every tactic, every combination, every player...all points are exposed to the eyes of major opponents.
Just as the Bulls had 72 wins in the regular season, but lost to the Knicks with only 47 wins in the second round, there is no "hidden strength" for such a team.
72 wins against the Bulls and 47 wins against the Knicks, in addition to losing one game, there are two games with very small points difference. One game was not for John Starks, the super pitcher of the era who won the regular season three-pointer. The Bulls were beaten by the fact that they couldn't make any open three-pointers. The Bulls only won 3 points and beat the Knicks 94-91.
There is also a Knicks loss 84 to 91. In this game, if Ewing is a little harder, don't throw from the outside and make some damage inside, the Knicks will have the opportunity to fight Tianwangshan.
Although the Grizzlies may be stronger than the overall strength of the Bulls that year, Kobe and James think the Grizzlies should also encounter similar difficulties.
Their thoughts are consistent with those of most people. No matter how fierce the regular season is, no matter how strong they are, they are two different things in the playoffs. Perhaps the comparison is not appropriate, but the Eagles this season and the 12-13 season's excavation The Gold team proved this very well.
The fact is the same. In terms of the small-scale cooperation and use of the tactical system, Kobe and James feel that the Grizzlies use those things that have long been analyzed by experts and the media.
However, with the adjustment of strategy and the change of the general tactical framework, the Grizzlies have played new tricks with the old routines that others are already familiar with!
In the game, Kobe and James felt a heavy pressure on the familiar small-scale cooperation of the Grizzlies.
Especially Kobe, when he and O'Neal got 15 wins and 1 loss in the playoffs, it was not easy at all. In the second round, three games against the Kings were narrowly won, and this is too similar to this year's Grizzlies! Although it is dangerous, the Grizzlies can win!
It means that the other party is stronger than they thought!
...
...
The Grizzlies coaching staff refused to accept any interviews with their own players during the playoffs, asked in team meetings and asked each player’s family to cooperate so that the players should not pay attention to any news during the series. This decision is the first The second round didn't have much effect, but after the first game of the Western Conference Finals, it played a very important role immediately!
Last night, the Bulls narrowly beat the 76ers 104 to 102, defending the two home games and scoring 2 to 0. There is not much attention.
Fans and the media are discussing the terrible dominance shown by the Grizzlies!
This is a topic that fans have intensified and in-depth discussions since the end of the Grizzlies and Lakers game.
The main thing is that the more they discuss the Grizzlies’ 9-game winning streak in the playoffs this season, the more incredible they feel. They originally thought that the Grizzlies had a lot of games to play very difficult, watching the score, watching some progress, it is indeed the case.
But now after watching the comments made by the legendary commentators Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley of the .T legend, the fans found that they had some errors in their understanding.
It’s very difficult to win the game...Conversely, it can be regarded as the Grizzlies no matter what kind of opponent they encounter, no matter what strange tricks they come up with, no matter how good the opponent is, no matter how the Grizzlies are in. The Grizzlies can win the dilemma!
The same thing, but from a different perspective, it seems like two completely different things.
With this kind of public opinion, Coach Hollins doesn't need his players to pay attention to understand.
He had discovered before that his own players seemed to focus on the same angle as most people, and felt that the second round was difficult.
But coach Hollins took the latter view. After the second round, he felt that he was about to swell. He suppressed the swelling emotions. Instead, he constantly emphasized the strength of the Lakers and the Spurs in team meetings. Great. After the Lakers were promoted, they continued to emphasize where the Lakers played well. Their Grizzlies might be beaten by the opponent...
Coach Hollins has already felt the strong self-confidence of the players. If he becomes more confident again... then there may be an emotion called conceit and pride.
Sun Ce’s "King of the Western Conference" and "Leader's Light" two buffs, in the eyes of others, it is Sun Ce who has a unique personal charm. With him, teammates will feel more confident. This is how Hollins coach Also understand.
But with Sun Ce's characteristics and such a strong personal charm, if the confidence of his teammates is raised too high, there will be problems.
So he needs the head coach Huo Bale to balance the adjustment...
After the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals, the next game is on the 25th. The next game for the Grizzlies is tomorrow, which is the 24th. It is finally staggered, but it’s the third game between the Grizzlies and the Lakers. , Will coincide with the fourth game day of the Eastern Conference Finals.
This makes it difficult for the media to separately hype the topic of the East and West finals, but there is no way. The playoffs have a fixed game system. It is the first two rounds of this season that formed such a schedule.
In the Eastern Conference, Rose finally relied on the second round roar of the declaration of "sweep into the finals", and gained some popularity for a while, but after they were about to continue sweeping and they were already 2-0, there was not much. People are discussing them... There is no way. When people reverse their views on the Grizzlies playoffs, they feel pleasantly surprised!
Just like the surprise that the Lakers brought to people in the 00-01 season!
Surprised by a team with 75 wins... this kind of thing is worthy of surprise in itself.
The Grizzlies, which is the focus of public opinion in the sports world, spent a rest day very calmly. It was time to prepare for battle and rest. The outside world did not get any substantive updates about the Grizzlies, and no interviews flowed out.
Originally this round of the series had high attention, but now it has become even higher!
At 8pm on May 24, the second game of the Grizzlies and Lakers series began.
Can the Grizzlies continue the incredible dominance of the Lakers in the 00-01 season? Can the Lakers play a different game against the Grizzlies?
It's just that the game is affected by many things, such as external public opinion.
On the Grizzlies' side, the goal of the whole team is the same. After winning the game, the coaching staff's arrangement of not allowing the reception of news from the outside world is implemented very well, starting from the core from top to bottom.
But on the Lakers side, I really can't help but want to see how the outside world evaluates them. Fortunately, the key players are obviously affected! Furthermore, at the beginning of the game, the Lakers' overall offense had a huge problem.
In the first quarter, the Lakers made 4 coordination errors in a single quarter. They made 6 of 18 shots in the entire quarter and only scored 16 points! Nick Young, who was able to score 16 points, or came off the bench, made 2 of 3 shots, including 1 of 3 pointers and 2 of 2 free throws to get 7 points, which allowed the Lakers to keep the trailing point difference in the first quarter. Within 10 points, the Grizzlies were 8 points behind 16 to 24 and entered the intermission.
The Grizzlies see the opposing team playing hastily on the offensive end, and they seem to want to prove themselves, so they naturally focus on defense.
The old Bickerstaff adjusted quickly. In the second half of the first quarter, he sent a singles defensive lineup, using James and Leonard, the striker, and Boozer to play the center to carry the low post. These three support the bottom, but this Double nerve knife comes on the field.
Relying on defense and Nick Young's outstanding performance, the Lakers collapsed before the first quarter.
The old Bickerstaff’s rotation and tactical changes, as well as the Lakers’ excellent execution and execution effect, made the fans on the scene and in front of the TV shine. There is no doubt that the Lakers are definitely the favorites of the championship. One, has the strength to defend the title!
In the second quarter, the Lakers' adjustments began to pay off. The two teams squatted on defense. The Lakers once took advantage of Sun Ce and Klay Thompson to reduce the difference to 4 points, but the next 5 minutes and 11 seconds. ~EbookFREE.me~ The combination of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Randolph and Larry Sanders once again widened the 3-point difference.
In the second quarter, the Lakers scored 22 to 21. After halftime, the Grizzlies led the Lakers 45 to 38 and entered the halftime break.
Originally, the Grizzlies thought that they could not open the point difference in the half, and were once reduced to 4 points by the opponent. They would be difficult to play in the second half. However, they had no idea that they were able to narrow the point difference after the Lakers finally narrowed the point difference. Open, and it is Sun Ce resting the Lakers to reduce the point difference. Sun Ce opened the point as soon as he came up. How big a blow was it to the Lakers!
Sun Ce is ready to use the physical potion today, ready to use it when there is a significant decline in physical strength, but at 5 minutes and 06 seconds in the first half of the third quarter, the Lakers scored zero sports games...
0 of 9 shots! The Lakers only scored 2 points in more than 5 minutes! The Grizzlies played a wave of 11 to 2! When entering the official timeout, the Grizzlies had led the Lakers 56-40 by 16 points!
Although the Lakers' situation improved in the second half of the third quarter, they only scored 9 points on 4 of 11 shots in the latter half. The Grizzlies leaned on Randolph for nearly 7 minutes. He scored 13 points with Sun Ce's singles, Paul George's setter and catching shots.
In the third quarter, the Grizzlies scored a score of 24 to 11 in a single quarter. After the third quarter, the Grizzlies led the Lakers 69 to 49 by 20 points and entered the break!
This situation... Coach Hollins's show operation has come again, replaced by a combination of Livingston, Carter, Pierce, Aldridge, and Gobert, five on five!
On Sun Ce's side, the opponent fell down before he even used the physical potion! It's just that Sun Ce felt his heart flustered when he watched his coach say nothing. Why is my coach so nasty? This is the Western Conference!
